Sorry, But Ariana and Pete Are Not #RelationshipGoals

There's nothing enviable about rushing into things.

Actually, I'm not sorry.

Unless you live under a rock, or just never check social media, chances are you've heard by now that pop star Ariana Grande and comedian Pete Davidson got engaged within weeks of reports that they had just begun "casually seeing each other".

And in the blink of the eye, they're suddenly one of the most talked-about couples in Hollywood (JBiebs and Hailey are up there, too.) They've become extremely public about their relationship on Instagram, from dressing up in Hogwarts robes together to showing off their tattoos for one another. It all moved extremely fast, and honestly, it's kind of scary.

I don't dislike either celebrity, and I don't hate public relationships. But I simply cannot get behind an engagement after only weeks of dating.

Both Grande and Davidson are in their early twenties, and both have incredible careers ahead of them. What's with the sudden rush to get married? How well can they possibly know each other? Don't they think that they're just setting themselves up for failure?

While I understand that they are both individuals very capable of making their own decisions, Grande especially should have some grasp on the message this sends to young fans. They now idolize a young woman who thinks a couple months of dating is sufficient enough to last a lifetime.

I don't intend to discredit either Grande or Davidson on their incredible success in their respective industries. If it was cute couple pictures on Instagram, lovey-dovey comments on each other's accounts, and a simple (very public) summer romance, I would have no problem with this. But what's enviable about rushing into things? What are we teaching young girls about what love truly means?

I'm all for love at first sight, and I am the most rom-com obsessed person you may ever meet, but Ariana and Pete are not my #relationshipgoals.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
